Question of the Day, April 22, 2010

[Kaymish]

no i get regular TV for free and they have stargate, star trek, Dr who, AND Fox news if normal TV can pony up with 3 sci-fi's and a comedy per week for free Microsoft is going to have to do way better if they want me to pay $1-2 a month for it

 

[pntaylor]

Simple answer is no. The longer answer is that I have a TV for which I have to pay a TV license for as well as my subsription to Virgin for their cable TV. I don't need and wouldn't want to pay for a premium channel.

 

[sniperworm]

What is this TV you speak of?

 

[Vampire cat]

Hahahah... ahah... aha...

No...

 

[GnomeThief]

Knowing Microsoft, this T.V. channel will likely be used for shameless self promotion and advertising. Thanks but no thanks.

 

[Darksqueee]

Tell you what, if they manage to get ALL of the good shows that are no longer on G4 (Electric Playground, Judgement Day, Robot Wars, Filter, Cheat!, etc.), then yes, I'd pay for it.

 

[Veleste]

It really depends on what they are showing. If it's just like normal tv then the shows will probably come out later than their parent channel shows it so I will have already seen it, if it's only shows about gaming/microsoft I'd get very bored as I have Kotaku for my gaming info fix. However if it is all new original stuff then yeah, maybe.

 

[joshthor]

probably. if its an mainly action tv channel, absolutely not. most games are pure violence anyway, there is no point, but if it was alot of comedy, absolutely. i cant get enough sitcoms to watch while doing 3d stuffz.

 

[Irridium]

Depends.

If it shows all of the old cartoons of my childhood, like old Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network Cartoons (and Toonami), I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Otherwise I'll pass.

 

[Flames66]

No. I don't have an Xbox and have no intention of getting one. I hardly watch the TV anyway.

 

[Legion]

Simple answer: No.
Why should I pay for an exclusive channel when I pay already?

Exactly. We pay a fair amount more than we should be anyway for the quality provided. I also barely watch normal TV as it is, I'm sure as hell not paying for more of it.

 

[Artemicion]

I don't even watch TV, but I wouldn't pay for the service even if I did. I don't mind paying for Xbox LIVE - but I'm not paying any more than I need to.

 

[wooty]

I wouldnt pay it, it would either be just endless videos of supposedly l33t kills in games with subliminal messages to make you buy Natal inbetween.

 

[rescuer86]

BA HA HA HA HA HA HA! Really?! Just, really?! I thought that was what the Zune app was for. If I want to watch t.v. shows at my convenience, then there is an app for that. I call it: the interwebs. Fantastic invention. Microsoft should really look into it.

Oh, and NO!

 

[Peace Frog]

More important than regular tv - the internet. No need for tv to supply gaming news.

 

[chenry]

Didn't vote because my answer is No, I don't watch TV.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

As it is, I like the little "shows" on Inside Xbox, like "Sent U A Message" and "Insider Moves".

But of course, it depends on the content.

 

[Spiner909]

That sounds really, really stupid. NO.
